Job description
To support our growth, we're looking for a Software Technical Leader (Tech Lead) to help shape the future of our software platforms.
You will be the technical reference for one or more software products in our vision inspection portfolio. You'll drive architecture and best practices, support a distributed development team, and ensure our software is robust, scalable and maintainable. You'll balance hands-on coding with technical leadership: helping the team make solid design decisions, reducing technical debt, and keeping our solutions aligned with business needs and product strategy.
In this role, you will:
- Enforce engineering standards (coding practices, design patterns, code reviews)
- Own and evolve software architecture to ensure scalability, performance, and maintainability
- Lead technical decision-making and serve as the go-to expert across engineering and cross-functional teams
- Solve complex system challenges across real-time performance, reliability, image processing, and integrations
- Elevate software quality by strengthening unit, integration, and functional testing strategies
- Manage and reduce technical debt, driving pragmatic, high-impact improvements
- Shape the technical roadmap and backlog in alignment with product and business priorities
- Implement metrics and tooling to track code quality, performance, and team effectiveness
- Stay hands-on: design, develop, and optimize features in high-performance, real-time applications
- Some travel can be expected to collaborate with teams and stakeholders on different sites
You'll work in a modern industrial vision environment, typically including:
- C++ for high-performance, real-time image processing
- C# / .NET for tools, services and operator UIs
- Python for scripting, prototyping and some AI workflows
- Vision and AI frameworks: OpenCV, Halcon, Homemade algorithms
- High-speed industrial cameras: GigE Vision, Camera Link, USB3 Vision
- Industrial integrations: OPC-UA, Modbus, and other plant-level interfaces
- Agile development, Azure DevOps, Git, CI/CD, collaboration with DevOps and Integration & Test teams
Requirements
- Has a degree in Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science or a related field
- Brings significant experience as a software developer on a relevant tech stack (C++, C#, real-time or industrial systems, vision or similar domains)
- Has experience working in Agile environments
- Is comfortable with CI/CD and modern software delivery practices
- Is organized, pragmatic and rigorous, with strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Enjoys mentoring others, promoting good practices and bringing teams towards a shared technical vision
- Communicates clearly in an international context
Bonus points if you have:
- Experience in machine vision, real-time systems, or industrial automation
- Exposure to GPU computing, image processing libraries, or AI / deep learning for vision
